neglected space

Singer:heap, imogen

hello

i watch you come and go

i know you can hear my voice

don't walk away

come daydream with me

in closed loops and future-proof cardboard to caviar. let's show them how good we are. if you look after me

i'll look after you. sonar

night vision or desperate lovers

seeking privacy for their forbidden. i am their defenseless host. through my open wounds they let themselves in. sheltered

they mock me. if you stand up for me

i'll stand up for you. i'm weather-beaten in a losing battle punctured by nature

becoming organic

the air in here ages me

ungracefully!

but if you take care of me

i'll take care of you. oh

my crumbling heart!

if you'll be good to me

i'll be good to you. i'm amidst: i could be the best decision you ever made

a beacon

your peaceful corner. find me

cherish me

take me on or pull me down. you choose. wait!

oh

safe in the ache of soul-decay!

cause i will remember you - will you remember me?

bespoke to broken

this interwoven tapestry of tragedy

crooked frames and cracked glazing

slithers of wistful window gazes glint in borrowed light. where doorways with no door stage a ballet of leaves

who pirouette in the footsteps of once glorious days. by peeling paint

i'm a sunken ceiling

i'm cracking up

and can seem threatening. i'm falling apart. i'm scary at night. take dark

forbidden: keep out

keep out! no

no

no go forth. a has-been

a once was

the leftovers

an eyesore

bleeding

oxidising

a few remaining

unloved

emotionally damaged

a waste of space

a nuisance

i haven't had time to become

unwanted!

what's gone? i'm losing it

this is not what i stand for

this is not what i stand for

this is not what i stand for

it was a perfectly good grand piano. stop in the name of love! i've got just what you're looking for!

i've got tree-lined interiors

where we can dine with the biosphere. if you'll take care of me

i'll take care of you. if you be good to me

then i'll be good to you. oh. i'm a story in mourning

and you're the author

so pour out your masterpiece. entropy increasing

how long before i'm dust?

can we discuss?
